Bloomberg's Geospatial Products

Bloomberg recruited me in 2015 to conceptualize, build, and bring to market an enterprise Geospatial business and product line that served hundreds of thousands of clients and all aspects of the Bloomberg organization. Products included Data Feeds, Visual Research Tools, Alerts, Automated News, NLP solutions, TV Studio and News Tools, and more. Beyond the role and organization, I gained global recognition as an innovator and thought leader in technology and alternative data and developed a vast network across industries, academics, policy makers, and clientele.

askRiskthinking

askRiskthinking is the world's only open AI platform for climate Analytics - an AI-for-Good initiative to deliver climate insights to every person, company, and government in the world.


As Chief Operating Officer of riskthinking.AI,  I am responsible for driving the commercialization of the business, ensuring that all operational functions align with the company’s strategic goals. I work closely with the CEO and other executives to develop and execute strategies that drive revenue growth, enhance customer satisfaction, and optimize operational efficiency.

SpatiaFi

Google's 2023 Industry Solution of the Year for Sustainability. 


I joined Climate Engine as Chief Product Officer at its infancy to lead the productization and go-to market of the company. In partnership with Google, we built and launched SpatiaFi - a geospatial platform that powered applications and data feeds to organizations like Dun & Bradstreet, the Bank of Montreal, NatWest, and led to the launch of the first sustainability research center in the Middle East. 


Climate Engine and the SpatiaFi platform were acquired in 2025.

In 2009, I conceptualized, designed, and launched SNL Maps - Wall Street's premiere mapping platform for investment research and reporting. I was also selected to lead the company's pilot Agile Team, acting as Product Owner.
